Job description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Assistant to work under the direction of Dr Stefanos Zafeiriou and Dr. Tolga Birdal.
Imperial College is consistently in the top 10-world university ranking. The College achieved second place in the Complete University Guide’s Computer Science subject table for 2017. The Department of Computing has repeatedly been awarded the highest research ratings in the REF assessments, was ranked 1st in the Research Intensity table published by The Times Higher, and was rated as "Excellent" in the most recent national assessment of teaching quality.
Duties and responsibilities
The main aim of the project is to develop next-generation machine learning and computer vision methods for analysis and synthesis of 3D textured data (bodies, hands, faces) using novel non-Euclidean Machine Learning techniques. The project will also involve data collection with state-of-the-art systems for body and face capture.
Within the project, the Research Assistant will be responsible for the development of effective and efficient machine learning algorithms for deep learning on graph, focusing on both generative and discriminative models GAN. The applicant is expected to have strong publication record in top conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICML, and alike) and journal papers (TPAMI, IJCV, TAC, TIP, and other high-impact journals).
